Jordan's POV"Why didn't you call me? What if he was here to kill me?" I bark at Tristan. I no longer know the essence of having him around me when he isn't doing his work.He was supposed to inform me about Damien's presence in the company. He knew Damien was around but he chose to watch from afar without doing anything.What if Damien had shot me? I will be long dead before the police catch up with him.I am tense about Damien's arrival back in New York.I know he is here now for the worst.He meant what he said to me. I am not scared of facing him man to man but I am damn scared for my family, my mother, and Lily, even Cassie. I don't want to lose any of them."I just thought it wasn't necessary since I didn't see him with any weapon", Tristan tells me."You think he was going to put the weapon on the car so the world will know he is coming here to kill me?Don't be daft", I yell.He didn't say anything and I go back to my seat. I wasn't supposed to say what I said last. Tristan is
Jordan's POVI bumped into a familiar man at the entrance of the hospital. He apologized calmly with a smile before I could say anything.He walked past me and I keep trying to remember where I know him from until I get to the ward where Cassie is. I see Tania in the corridor and she leads me in, taking the package in my hand. She had called to tell me to get food on my way here for Cassie and I went to the nearest restaurant to the hospital.When I get into the ward and see the guilty look on Cassie's face and how she looked away, I figure out who the man is. I remember the picture Tessa gave me and I realize he is the man Cassie kissed In the picture.Why didn't he look like he knows me if he is the one?Could it be that he doesn't know me? If he doesn't know me, then it means he is not aware that Cassie is married.I am sure Cassie asked him to go before I came here from the way she is looking guilty. I want to be angry with her but I know this is not the right time to be angry."
( Jordan's POV )I don't know why I can't hide my emotions.As much as I was trying to hide my irritation when she insisted that I go back to work, I couldn't. I showed her that I was upset and she did not even call me back to apologize.I instructed the maids to let her sleep and take care of my baby before heading back to work. I had the intention of staying with her, till she fall asleep before going to my room to call Chloe to bring me some files home so I can work from home. But since she wants me to go, I will.Tristan gave me information about Evelyn's restaurant. I didn't let him stop from monitoring her movement and what she does. He said the construction has stopped for more than a week now.At first, I was glad because that was how I intended to punish Evelyn but now I am thinking from a different light, as a changed man.I no longer want to be bad, I no longer want to punish her or her daughter anymore. I thought they deserved it but I am wrong. What Cassie said to me las
( Cassie's POV )I stand up from the chair facing my mirror after a satisfying makeup. I look beautiful tonight, I know. I haven't been paying attention to making up and getting dressed ever since I got married to Jordan.I began to dress up when Tony came back to me and whenever I go out to meet him, without Jordan knowing. By the time he is back, my make-up is gone and my clothes off.I feel I need to look good now more than ever. I don't need to be scared of Jordan or what he will say.I don't know what Tony will think if I tell him to wait for me in a particular place while I go meet him there. I know it will sound suspicious and silly so I ask him to come to the mansion.Since he is coming early and I have made a vow not to be scared of Jordan anymore, he can come. I just won't let him come into the house. Once he horns, I will go out which is why I am already ready to go.I am wearing a long-sleeved print round-neck bodycon gown. It is blue and I am wearing silver heels, blue e
( Jordan's POV )I pack my things, close the laptop, and put the important files inside the drawer before locking it.When I am done, I pick up the briefcase and go out."Good night, sir", Chloe greets me."Goodnight, Chloe", I say in response before walking to the elevator.Changing is much easier for me than I expected it will be even though some things are quite difficult for me. I have been worried about Cassie since noon and I am closing early just to go check up on her.By the time I was home yesterday, she was already asleep again and I asked Tania about her health.Tania says she is fine but I still don't feel ok with it.This morning, when I was coming to work, I went into her bedroom to see her sleeping too. I was worried that she was sleeping too much so I went back to Tania and asked her to dish out her food and wake her up to eat.To be honest, I thought maybe something happened to Cassie during the night and I wanted to be rest assured that she is truly fine and alive w
( Cassie's POV )I couldn't summon up the courage to call mother as Tony suggested until this morning. I apologized to her and she said nothing. I tried calling her again to ask if she is home so I can visit her before Tony comes to pick me up but her number wasn't going through.I gave up after a while and spent time with Lily. I fed and bathed her myself before going to get ready for my date. I hope nothing will disrupt my date today, unlike yesterday. I also hope Tony won't ask me anything concerning the apology.I take my time to look good tonight. I put the Lavender dress over my head, after rubbing the lotion on my body and wearing my pants and bra.The dress flowed below my feet and I put on diamond earrings with a matching necklace.I put on light make-up and wear strappy diamond heels. The horn of the car outside notifies me of Tony's presence. He is always right on time. I feel there is no need for a purse, so I pick up my phone only and stroll out.He isn't outside today,
( Cassie's POV )I really enjoyed my day, all thanks to this cute man before me who wouldn't stop making me giggle like a little child. He derives pleasure and happiness from seeing me happy and he is proving to be worth more than any other man.I hear the slamming of the front door and I know instantly that someone must have seen us kissing.We pull away from each other and I look down in embarrassment.He raises my head with a smirk and pecks my forehead like he always does before going out of the car to open the door for me."Bye, love.""Bye", I wave at him till he is out of sight. I suddenly feel cold now that he is gone. I hug my body to myself and walk inside.I see Jordan sitting on the sofa, crossed legs with blazing red eyes, I know I am in for trouble tonight. I am sure he was the one who saw us kissing."Good evening, Jordan", I greet politely."Where the hell are you coming from, Cassie?" He asks me instead of replying to my greeting.He looks up at me and I see him stari
Jordan's POVI am tossing in bed with guilt. Pamela said she won't be able to come over tonight but promised to come first thing tomorrow morning. I know she has not been in New York for weeks but Richard informed me that she will be back today. It is past 11 pm already and I can't find sleep.I am greatly troubled. It is as if I am feeling Cassie's pain. It is as if the more her tears, the more I am feeling hurt. I have no idea what is happening to me and why I am feeling this way. I know what I did is wrong but I am not supposed to be feeling this hurt.When I can take it no longer, I stand up and rush to the door. I throw it open before running down to Cassie's room. I don't care what happens, she needs to hear me out and accept my apology.As I get close to the door, I am lucky to see Tania coming out with an unhappy expression, I use this opportunity to enter before Cassie will come to lock the door from behind again.I close the door behind Tania who is surprised to see me.
